My centre has a mix of silicone ear plug and Traxxas 50 mil front and rear are stock. After a quick look online, I can’t seem to find anything thicker than the 20 million cst oil from traxxas. Would you be able to point me in the right direction please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krel Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 Hi I'm having trouble with the brakes on my xmaxx, they are either full power or don't work at all, changed the settings on the tqi link and it doesn't make any difference. I've recalibrated the esc a few times and still no improvement, is the esc on its way out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iv noticed if you run below 50-60% power - brakes are very weak even if you adjust them to 100% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krel Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 Hi no not running it in training mode, getting full power out of it and made sure that training mode wasn't enabled Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And by "full power or don't work at all" are you saying they work randomly or there is only 2 settings they work 0% or 100%? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krel Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 Yeah they work either full power or no brakes at all nothing inbetween Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise, my guess would be the esc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rjs1882 Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 Hi all, sorry to jump in on the thread. Complete X-Maxx noob here. I was incredibly lucky to win one on hobby comps a few weeks back and really cannot wait to get to grips with it and take it for a bash. Sorry for a battery related question, if possible would anybody be able to suggest some 4s battery packs that would be good for me to get going with. so far ive never gone much beyond 2s turnigy graphene packs but completely unsure on the good options out there for 4s. Really appreciate the help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vimto2000 Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 (edited) I bought a pair of these: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B08R9S3CLW I also bought a pair of DXF 8000mah ones. Similar to these: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000561933040.html To be honest...I barely make it through a pair of packs before I decide to wrap up and go home. Usually go out with my boys, and a pair of 4s batteries from Amazon lasts me 45-1hr of stop start play.

Tadas Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 Just installed and tested MAX6 ESC. And have to say OMG what a difference! Not only no more overheating issues, but run time increased by a lot, would say 30-50%. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a very noticeable increase just changing the ESC from Traxxas to an aftermarket one, even with gearing etc the same. The Traxxas ESC hold so much back. Its just fasterand more efficient. @Tadas wait till you gear up! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AliExpress are supplying them but not making them. DXF batteries are pretty good, better than my Amazon's ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
